Online Therapy in Kansas
with Rhiana Turner, LCPC
Looking for an online therapist in Kansas who will do more than nod and ask, “How does that make you feel?”
I’m Rhiana Turner, LCPC, a licensed professional counselor providing online therapy throughout Kansas. I work with adults who are insightful, capable, and often pretty good at keeping things together on the outside—but know something in their life, relationships, or patterns needs to change.
My approach to therapy is warm, relational, and direct. We’ll absolutely talk about how you got here. But we’ll also talk about what you’re going to do differently now.
Virtual therapy is available to clients throughout Kansas, including Wichita, Overland Park, Kansas City, Olathe, Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan, and surrounding communities.
Complicated Family Relationships
You can love your family and still have a complicated relationship with them.
I work with adults who want to improve relationships with parents and other family members without automatically jumping to estrangement or no contact. Sometimes the goal isn't ending a relationship. It's figuring out how to stay connected without constantly sacrificing yourself in the process.
If you grew up in a family that looked successful or functional from the outside but felt emotionally complicated behind closed doors, this work may be especially relevant.
Trauma & Patterns That Keep Following You
Trauma doesn't always look dramatic from the outside.
Sometimes it looks like perfectionism. Hyper-independence. People pleasing. Difficulty trusting people. Staying constantly busy. Overreacting to criticism. Avoiding conflict until you explode. Or understanding exactly why you behave a certain way and still not knowing how to stop.
My approach to trauma therapy in Kansas focuses not only on what happened to you, but on how those experiences continue to shape your relationships, decisions, and sense of self today.
ADHD & Executive Dysfunction
You know what you need to do. Doing it consistently is another story.
I work with adults with ADHD and executive functioning difficulties who struggle with procrastination, overwhelm, organization, emotional regulation, motivation, or the exhausting feeling that everyday tasks require more effort for you than they seem to require for everyone else.
Therapy isn't about turning you into someone who owns twelve color-coded planners. It's about understanding how your brain works and building a life that works with it.
Relationships, Marriage & Becoming a Better Partner
Sometimes therapy isn't about leaving your relationship.
Sometimes it's about becoming better at being in one.
I work with adults who want to understand their relationship patterns, communicate more effectively, manage conflict differently, and become better partners. This can be especially valuable during major transitions like marriage, trying to conceive, pregnancy, preparing for parenthood, or becoming a new parent.
High-Achieving Women Who Are Tired of Holding Everything Together
You can have the career, relationship, education, house, friendships, and impressive résumé and still think: Why am I struggling this much?
I particularly enjoy working with women in demanding careers and high-pressure environments who are used to being competent, dependable, and the person everyone else relies on.
Therapy gives you somewhere you don't have to perform competence.
Is This the Right Fit?
We may work well together if you're looking for a therapist who:
Gives actual feedback instead of remaining completely neutral
Can be compassionate without avoiding difficult conversations
Understands ADHD, trauma, relationships, and complicated family dynamics
Doesn't automatically equate healthy boundaries with cutting people off
Believes insight matters—but behavior change matters too
Wants you to eventually graduate from therapy rather than stay indefinitely
You don't need to have everything figured out before starting.
You just need to be willing to work on it.
I Know a Little Something About Being Nice
I’m a Texan. I understand the culture of being sweet, being polite, respecting your elders, showing up for your family, and trying very hard not to be the person who makes things uncomfortable.
And I also understand what happens when being nice slowly turns into people-pleasing.
When keeping the peace means you never say what you actually think. When family expectations start making decisions for you. When “that’s just how we were raised” explains a behavior—but doesn't necessarily make it healthy.
There’s a lot I genuinely love about cultures rooted in family, loyalty, tradition, hospitality, and taking care of your people. Therapy doesn't have to mean rejecting those values.
Sometimes it means figuring out which traditions you want to carry forward and which ones need to end with you.
You can love your family and disagree with them.
You can respect where you came from and still do things differently.
You can be sweet and have a backbone.
You can set a boundary without turning it into a declaration of war.
And you can shake things up without burning the whole damn thing down.
That's especially important in my work with adults who want to improve complicated family relationships rather than immediately end them. I'm much more interested in helping you figure out how to have a healthier relationship with the people you love than reflexively telling you to cut them off.
So if you're a Kansan trying to balance family expectations, tradition, relationships, and becoming your own person, we'll probably have plenty to talk about.
